DSL – Week 6 Email

Good Evening:

Just a few things as we enter the 6th week of our season.
  • Make up games – I know that there are some games that still need to be made up.  We are hitting October here pretty quickly and the hours of daylight are decreasing while the amount of rain is increasing. If you have not identified a makeup date for any past games that were not played, please do so immediately.  It will only get more challenging to reschedule those later in the season and unplayed games will either not count for standings or could result in forfeits being assessed.  The two games that I know of that need to be rescheduled, but have not yet been are listed below, if there are others though, please let me know of those and keep me updated on the reschedule process:
    • Need make-up date and game time for one suspended game in Week 2 (St. Kilian-W Varsity with Aquinas).
    • Need make-up date and game times for two cancelled games in Week 4 (AAG JV & Varsity with GAA).
  • Offsides – I would encourage teams in the first and second grade age groups to start working offsides into their practices and their games starting this week so that the concept is not one of first impression when they arrive at the DSL tournament on Oct. 26th.  
  • Tournament Registration – Registration for the Oct. 26th Tournament is open and will remain open until October 11 or when a bracket fills up completely.  The tournament will include brackets for all teams in grades 1 through 4, as well as girl-only 5v5 teams in grades 5 through 8.  Currently the 2nd Grade Bracket is filled and the 1st and 3/4 grade brackets are close to being filled.  I can also confirm that to date we have registrations sufficient enough to play all 8 contemplated brackets: 1, 2, 1/2, 3, 4, 3/4, JV Girls, Varsity Girls.  We are one target to have one of the biggest tournaments ever for the diocese. Once registration is closed, it will take me a bit to put together the schedule and figure out how to get all of the games in that day, but that is a good problem to have.
That's it for me, as always, don't hesitate to reach out with any issues, concerns or questions.
